SORRY FOR LONG POST!

I have been out of the game for almost 5 years now and within those 5 years have only had 2 dates that didn’t even get me a second one. That’s my background. So I read this post and found some motivation.

I am a certified introvert to the bone. I’ve always wondered how I would go about doing pickup when I always shut myself down before I even act on it. Not today. Thanks to /u/JayGatsbyFan empathizing with me, I finally understood some things about me that he eloquently explained. Shit hit home. My friend is a promoter for this club and he gave me a free ticket to go tonight. Time for some action.

I went to this new club that just opened and I swore to myself that I will not shut myself down this time. I’ve been lurking here for the longest time and it is time to put what I learned to the test.

"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone"

Every time I hesitated to approach these girls in the club I would mutter this phrase and just went for it. The first time I did it got me a dance with this Mexican chick that I mentioned look Indian. (I’m so smooth. I know) After about 2 songs and continuous escalation with this girl with kino we both knew this wasn’t going anywhere. Past me would have just kept dancing and think, “Just dance with her since she said yes”. But I respected myself enough to end it and just keep going with these other PYT’s I see around me. This was my first approach of the night and I thought “I’m doing so well! YAY me!”

Second to fifth approach we’re all rejects. I never would a million years know the feeling that came each and after those rejections. I was honestly okay with it. And I usually hide in a corner and just psycho-analyze every little detail that went down just to see what’s wrong but this was new. Rejections mean nothing now. I’m surprised with myself. But the night is young so I keep going.

I go outside and I see the cutest most adorable hot girl in the club. My heart is fucking pounding right now. I say the phrase again in my head and I just go for it. “Hi I was standing over there and I saw you over here and I just had to talk to you”. She reciprocates my gesture and we start talking. As we talk I do a little kino by putting my hand on her elbow and caressing it gently with my thumb as we talk. She moves in closer and she’s smiling and laughing right now. I escalate by moving my body closer to her while my hand slowly runs down her back to her waist. I play with her hair and tease her about how uptight she must be to have a ponytail that high (I know I could have done better..). While all of this is going on I notice her eyes start to wander behind be but I don’t entertain it and just keep engaging her.

All of a sudden, this douche of a guy starts to hijack this girl away from me. Let me tell you I was pissed. (is this a correct feeling to have?) I do keep my cool and keep engaging this girl as best I can. Well douchezilla starts chatting up her friend and she becomes so uncomfortable that she just grabs my girls hand and storms away. The club was pretty packed and I honestly was a little let down because she and I hit it off pretty well. I start to say that phrase again and just walked away to find someone else and here’s why. Needy past me would have been more comfortable trying to look for her because she’s so “great” or “perfect” or whatever based on that conversation we just had. Not this time. I knew enough now that leaving her and looking for someone else was outside my comfort zone. So I left and went to look for other girls to approach.

3 rejections. No bueno. I’m over it. I decided to check the dance floor and I saw her and her friend there. I stopped for a second to contemplate about what I could do to not make this awkward. (I don’t know why I thought that atm). I decided to just go dgaf and grab this girls hand. She reciprocates and starts dancing with me. Her friend then starts to get uncomfortable and starts to cockblock me. I don’t know if she was helping her friend get me off her or what but I was determined. I knew this girl liked me from her body language. I had to do something. I ask politely to pull her aside so I can get her number. She obliges. This is so huge for me.

I left the club early to take a friend home. Then, as I was pulling into the driveway, I said to myself that life begins the moment you step out of your comfort zone. I call her. We figured our schedules and now we’re going out on a date next week.

This would never happen if not for you guys so thank you so much. I love this subreddit. And I love /u/JayGatsbyFan. Thanks for breaking me out of this shell.

P.S. I don't know how to format because I'm a noob. Also I know this isn't specific or detailed in anyway. I just wanted to share my experience with you guys since you're what made me start this in the first place. Thanks for reading!
